2 solar-powered marine environmental monitoring buoys and one Portable

As part of its core activities, the EMBRACE project is supporting the supply, installation, and commissioning of two (2) solar-powered marine environmental monitoring buoys and a multiparameter probe system in the Aqaba Marine Reserve. These buoys will be equipped with modular sensors to collect real-time data on water quality, climate variables, oceanography, biodiversity, and pollution indicators. The data will be made accessible to relevant stakeholders to guide adaptive management, improve scientific understanding, and strengthen marine governance.

This investment in environmental monitoring infrastructure supports multiple national and international frameworks, including Jordan’s Economic Modernisation Vision (2023–2025), the National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan, ASEZA’s disaster risk reduction strategies, and global conventions such as the Convention on Biological Diversity and its Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. It also contributes to global initiatives such as the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration.
